Categories     Salad

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups thinly sliced green cabbage
2 cups thinly sliced red cabbage
(You can use all green or all red cabbage.)
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup chopped cilantro (or more)
4 T mayo
3 T fresh lime juice (more or less to taste)
hot sauce to taste (I used about 1/2 tsp. green Tabasco sauce)
salt to taste (I used Vege-Sal)

Steps:

  • Thinly slice cabbage, using a mandoline or food processor if desired. Slice green onions, and wash, dry and chop cilantro. (I use a Mini salad spinner to wash herbs and spin them dry.) Combine cabbage, green onions and cilantro in large salad bowl. In small bowl, wisk together, mayo, lime juice, and hot sauce. (You may want to start with less than the full amount of lime juice and hot sauce and keep adding until you have the desired blend of sour/hot flavor.) Use a wooden spoon to mix dressing into cabbage mixture. Season to taste with salt and serve immediately, or chill for a few hours.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest ingredients you can find. Fresh cilantro, cabbage, and carrots will give your slaw the best flavor.
  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage and carrots. This will help the slaw to absorb the dressing more easily.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the ingredients to your liking. If you like more heat, add some jalapeƱo peppers. If you want a sweeter slaw, add some chopped pineapple.
  • Make the slaw ahead of time. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Mexican cilantro slaw is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious side dish, give this Mexican cilantro slaw a try. You won't be disappointed!
